Riggs hems and haws on legalization being the fix to the cartel problem.

LEARN HOW TO TOW THE REASON COMPANY LION, MICHAEL.

What reason company "lion" are you talking about "towing"?

He says that legalizing pot will not fix everything because there is so much more than pot causing the problem, and legalizing all drugs is not politically viable. I think a libertarian can believe this and still "toe the line"

[mad libertarian guy]

You clearly haven't been around here very long, have you?

[WasabiPeas]

FOE's malapropism intentional and/or ironic?

Riggs,

Sorry, with Moynihan gone, I just need some space while a search for my next favorite Reason contributor. It'll take some time. Look, I'm sure you're a good guy. You're sweet, funny, and you went on The Alyona Show. I just need to grieve.

Thanks.

I think her off-script discussion is just about the most impressive in the journo industry.

I guess the Russians have been spending so much money on blowing up their own citizens lately they can't afford chairs for their propaganda network?
